obviously i want to be bigger , lol

but i actually feel small,

last week i was working next to a guy and i was thinking shit he's pretty tall like 6-3" at least , he looked tall to me,

but , same height , eyes line up, and he's fairly lanky. maybe 20lbs under me, not built but good base...

i just feel really small, i don't feel like i'm 6'2" and i don't feel like i'm nearly as big as i am ,

Yeah, it could be a body dismorphia issue. The bigger you get the smaller you think you are.

i think it's because i was bigger before, hovering from 250-280 ( faty fat fat fat )untill a couple years ago when i just got rid of fat by not having money for food and doing alot of drugs,
last year i did a cycle and got in the best shape i have ever been in my life ( my avatar )

never once in my life have i ever really looked normal or average, i was 6'2 and prob 240lb(FAT) at 15 years old.

haha now i want to be huge, but i do appear in my mind smaller then i actually am , it's really ****ing weird .

I am totally the same way, I was 240lbs at 5'10 when I was 16 sure I was outta shape but when your that age and that big you get used to being bigger than everyone around you. Then after HS I decided to actually get in shape and dieted down to 160 felt tiny as hell and then started going to the gym.

Now at 210 still 5'10 im just now starting to feel half way decent about my body again, hopefully when I am ripped at 240 in a year or two I wont have to worry anymore lol. Its just hard getting used to being smaller than people you mentally see yourself as bigger than I guess.

my max has been 5'9 224lbs.

cut down to 191, then upto 204 ish naturally, then back down to 189 naturally, then did my first cycle and went upto 212, then cut down to 196 at the lowest bodyfat ive ever been, now im on my 2nd cycle and floating around 200lbs at the leanest ive ever been.

so basically i went from 224 and more fat/less muscle, and now now im down to around 198-200 with more muscle then i had at 224 and way less fat.

i think we as bodybuilders get a little too overwhelmed with letting our physical appearance dictate our worth....hell, its not really our fault as our sport is measured purely and 100% by our physical appearance. We have to remember that how we are inside (the way we act, speak and interact with those around us) is the most fundamental characteristic of how we are perceived by the public. There is nothing more impressive to people than someone who takes care of themselves physically but who are also well educated, well spoken and considerate to others.

I definitely feel small but that's because I am :)

Currently @ 220, 5'10" 12% but most of my weight/strength is in my back and legs.
I'm hoping I have a different sense of things at 240 @ 8% next year.

Some of the pictures I see of guys in the same weight range amazes me. I really don't know how they can look so big. I feel like I would have to be 260 plus to look as good as the guys in the 202 class.

Yeah, it could be a body dismorphia issue. The bigger you get the smaller you think you are.

I suffer from this condition...but have managed to control it over the last 2 to 3 years.
Trust me, I know the feeling of being so big, and muscled up, sexy as hell boy!!!, but yet feeling tiny, skinny, skunky, and slutty looking...all too well.


I sometimes wear shirts I wore in grade 5, and they make me feel a little better.

I always thought I`d be satisfied when I hit 220. I`m 5`11 and most guys I`ve seen around that weight and height seemed big to me. Well I got there and even more (232 now) and in a few weeks I should be feeling the effects of my test-equipoise cycle.

It`s just an inner drive I have, but although I love training, I sometimes wonder why I have this desire to go so hard. Like today was leg day, I know I will be hurting for days to come for what I did and the major blow it takes on my social life but just gotta keep going...

I understand what you guys are saying.... even though i'm not really all that big yet (bigger than all my friends but 2 i guess)... always thought at 6', and being an avid athlete, around 205 at a fairly low bf% would be where I'd be happy (in comparison to some football players builds/height/weight I knew of)... doesn't look like another 15 lbs. will do though... Idk.... we're all ****ed, that's why we do this...

i think for me it has to do with being tall...my legs and arms just refuse to grow it seems like...i see so many guys shorter than i am with great arms and nothing i do works! when someone does comment on my size in my head i hear it as 'sarcasm' and question it all the time...this lifestyle is F U C K E D !!

You are one big gorilla!! I remember you on the sites from a few years ago, and you have gained weight, that is for sure:)!

I would love to hit 250 again, but **** me it is not easy---too much work involved in anything passed 230 for me.
